Is that really going to happen though? If so, then it’s utterly ridiculous

I really hope it doesn’t.

But what I'm saying is, and perhaps I'm mistaken, that law only affects Irish channels, no?

I've just watched all the links so far.....

I love the Very one.....followed closely by Aldi & M&S

Tesco one is very funny......so realistic!!

So This Morning had Rylan on this morning talking about the M&S ad - the bit where Paddington hands the sandwich to 'Santa' and he apparently says thank you. It didn't sound like thank you and they were cracking up laughing on This Morning - I must be hard of hearing as I obviously couldn't hear what they were hearing, and they didn't say what it was either. Can anyone shed any light on it?

Heard on the radio this morning on the way to work that that law is being discussed in the seanad today & if delayed again wont come into effect for this year, so we may see the advert on Irish channels yet.

Article on the Indo about it. Defo wouldn't have heard in unless it was pointed out though.

Yea it still sounds like "Thank You" to me.

I saw the Paddington Bear Ad on here, and I heard the item on This Morning about the Thank you Bear part. They
replayed it several times, and I kept asking myself what they were laughing at. They were hysterical laughing.
I could.nt hear what they were hearing.... Thanks Ghekko....I thought it was just me......

I don't hear anything rude sounding in the M&S advert. I'm unsure of the ad though- being centered around a burglar who is stealing Christmas presents on Christmas eve. Hmmm.

Having read what others hear (f* *k you) it's all I can hear now :eek:

Same. I didn't notice at all. I heard thank you. Until I read that article and now I can't unhear **** you. Oh no, it's my favourite ad so far!

Just watched Aldi ad.

I loved Kevin last year, thought he was very cute and now he's got a new friend, it might be even better.

Also, the way that ad ends, tells me there's a lot more to come from Aldi.
I'd say if the story continues well, this could easily become one of the absolute favourites this year.

I quite like the sky cinema one.

The Sky Cinema one is gorgeous. We all have films we watch year after year and it really captures that. Must watch The Sound of Music soon.

I really love the Very ad. Between that cuteness and the fact that my company won an award sponsored by them this year they're my new favourite company! If you're buying clothes on Littlewoods it's worth checking very.co.uk out first as often they have the same item at a cheaper price. I saw that on a TV show earlier this year.

Absolutely. This is my brother's first year abroad and he isn't coming home. I'll keep the fingers crossed that he's planning a surprise!

Yeah it's not looking like my sister will make it home either. I'll keep my fingers crossed for them both!

The Sky Cinema one is lovely. It certainly hit the sentimental spot.

Jude13

The sky one is great alright, think this will be my 9th Christmas since I left Ireland. I remember my mum was convinced that I was kidding that I was working over Christmas and I was going to surprise her on Christmas day. Skype was the best I could do.

CheerLouth

Love the Sky One, the Aldi one & is it the Debenhams one that is the cinderella-esk one?

DvB

Just saw the Sky one there now.... love it. Kinda reminds me of one froma few years back which followed a family through th christmas ages as well, with the dad watching his family grow up... bulling I cant remember what it was for now *

Saw the Kevin the carrot one on TV last night 'I pea'd myself' & thought it was great too... looking forward to loads more in the next few weeks.

* Found it, was the Tesco 2013 one. One of the greats IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=18&v=7_4AOpcBwZ4

John Lewis Christmas Ad 2017!

I have to say, the John Lewis ad doesn’t really do it for me this year.

I thought that too. It seems to lack the emotion and magic of other years.
